Grand tour of North Laine venues

The day has been clement – the sun turned up midday (as promised by the ever-excellent yr.no), and we went to see Lighthouse, where the ever-excellent Phil greeted us downstairs; Basement, where the equally ever-excellent Tim talked the learners through the Basement concept; ORCA Gallery, where two artists were reverse-engineering Coca Cola; the Dream Factory, where Carlos Saba from SpookStudio gave the learners an introduction to lean startups and how they approach people who bring their ideas to them; and finally Komedia, where Marina herself generously gave us the full tour and shared Komedia wisdom. We rounded the tour off with a spin at the Brighton Japan Festival in the Old Steine Gardens, and after that we needed to sit down for a bit.
